Trail Blaze


 We all journey through life, sometimes on the road easily walking along and sometimes hoofing it through scrub.  I have found that through life, even in the thickest part of the forest, God gives me road markers to point the way, to teach me something of myself, and to reveal a bit more of who God is.  They are like blazes on trails, keeping me going in the right direction toward my final destination.
I have found my next road marker. It is this,
"So be careful how you live.  Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise.  Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.  Don't act thoughtlessly, but understand what the LORD wants you to do.  Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life.  Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves and making music to the LORD in your hearts.  And give thanks for everything to GOD the FATHER."  Ephesians 5:15-20
The last road marker God had me camped out at for quite some time.  I am not sure what His plan is at this one but I have already learned a great deal.  Like giving of my time to those around me.  Or putting extra thought into my words and actions.  
I am far from seeking the next one on the horizon although I yearn for it.  For that is when I know I have accomplished what God has planned.
